News Van Sant drives nice Porsche, drinks.

Posted by Matt Davis on Fri, Dec 22 at 10:00 AM

Poor oldRich old Gus Van Sant—he got pulled over for a DUI at 2am yesterday.gvsporsche.jpgOfficers pulled Portland’s world famous movie director over after they saw him driving his 2006 Porsche Cayenne down Burnside with no headlights on, accelerating sharply at a red light on 6th.

“He had glassy, watery, red eyes, slurred speech, and smelled strongly of alcohol,” says Police spokesman Brian Schmautz. Evidently, hanging out with the Zoobombers has led the Santster astray. He’s due to appear in court on January 17th at 8.30am.

I suppose this means DUIs are cool, now. I want one of those cars.
